After spending days posting clips of red symbols, stuttering, lag, packet loss, and random visual artifacts, I finally decided to stop playing Apex Legends and start a career in IT support.
What followed was a completely normal and healthy troubleshooting process:
• Reinstalled drivers.
• Uninstalled drivers.
• Reinstalled them again.
• Downloaded DDU.
• Booted into Safe Mode.
• Removed every trace of NVIDIA from existence.
• Installed older drivers.
• Questioned my life choices.
• Rebooted my PC more times than I played Apex.
Several hours later...
The stuttering is gone.
The artifacts are gone.
The game is smooth again.
For the first time in what feels like forever, I launched Apex and spent more time fighting enemies than fighting my computer.
If you're dealing with similar stuttering issues, hopefully this helps save you from the same rabbit hole I went down.
The Apex stuttering saga is finally over.
Hopefully.
ps: I spent more time troubleshooting Apex than playing Apex
